I saw his photo. Looks like he plays for the other team.

it's wild that the talking heads here on USA TV this morning are saying we need to tamp down the hateful rhetoric, without stating in the next sentence that DJT is the Hateful Orator in Chief

don't gaslight us. too many of us have functioning brain cells

I couldn’t see trump saying the second half of that and if he did I think a lot of repubs would remind him that we are not the party of politicians who pay bail for rioters to encourage more violence, encourage our voters to protest outside the home of the Supreme Court justices in an attempt to intimidate them, vilify our political rivals to the point of calling them evil or comparing them to brutal dictators or encourage our voters to get in the face of our political rivals to make them feel uncomfortable.

Ok.

So Part One - which will absolutely 100percent happen. Biden, is not allowed to say anything about it but Trump is allowed to use it make himself seem like a tough guy?

(I’m gonna go ahead and admit that Trump handled that about as well as humanly possible for his rep/image)

Part Two - I’m just gonna put a pin in this and see how it turns out. I suspect the Rs are not going to be as restrained as you seem to believe.

Lol. You honestly want to start pulling what Trump has said about competitors, or you want to stop your transparent lying and slink away? Hint: what do you think he means when he calls people traitors?

"Trump and republicans are the voice of civility in modern political discourse" is certainly a hot take. You'd have to have some sort of brain damage to believe that.

Of all the laughable lies said in defense of trump on this forum ‘Dems have called him evil, trump has never said anything like that about others’ might be the absolute stupidest

Are we allowed to just say shooter was mentally ill and change nothing? I see no reason to censor ourselves on factual information like Trump lying about winning an election or committing fraud to stay in power.

He was allegedly a registered Republican, so it's probably true.

But him being assassinated at a rally would be inarguably a horrible thing for the country because of the chain of events it would have set off. Nothing would give these lunatics who jerk off for a civil war their reason to take to the streets in arms more than the public murder of their god king

Oh yeah. Him actually being murdered would be a nightmare and somebody just as authoritarian with more skill would fill the vacuum.

Actually, it would be hilarious and the GOP would have no one to fill his shoes. Personality cults don't last long after the leader dies.

Yeah, I'm with Trolly. The vast majority of his cult are massive delusional pussies who wouldn't do much more than go online and cry about how he never said anything bad about anyone and got shot for no reason, like bahbah here.

These clowns already stormed the US Capital, openly talk about adopting political violence on a daily basis, and we're clutching pearls about them getting riled up? Like, if someone shot at Biden how much decorum do you think we'd see from MAGA dipshits right now?

A bigger problem than dear leader becoming president?
